Questions to consider when addressing reporting needs What questions am I repeatedly trying to answer for myself or others? Who is asking the questions? What is their professional background? How much information do they really need/want? How often do I need the report? What will I do with the information once I get it? What file format do I need? Does my data need to be real-time? Can I receive the report on a regular schedule or do I need the ability to run ad-hoc?
